Sharon Brennan and Rick McLellan signed the Implementation Options Acceptance form.
Told Sarah to get a banner from the school website. This can be changed later if necessary
Sharon sent screen dumps from Infocente to Tony Parfitt
Found 3 videos that don't appear to be in the system. Can't see why they are different to others that are catalogued.
My library card scans
All other titles scanned well, but belonged to McAuley branch. Somehow I must have been in Library branch. Need to find how
to move between branches or make McAuley the default.
49609 check if this is on Infocentre
If we reuse a number do previous borrowings stay attached to this number, e.g. Hannah Guy

ISBNs will strip out the spaces (need to check this), asked about capital letters to see if they can be changed in the subjects (I hate these)
Place of publication will probably missing - issues with this
